Cadastre
To make your projects a reality and protect property rights
Cadastral operations consist in identifying and officializing the separation, expansion, or merging of properties by assigning each property a separate lot number. Its length, area, shape and position in relation to neighbouring properties are also represented. This numbering is then registered in the Cadastre du Québec, which legally protects property deeds and is used notably for property appraisals.
Of paramount importance
A real estate transaction can only occur and be enforceable against third parties once the documents have been officially transmitted by the land surveyor to the land registry. Ecce Terra was actively involved in carrying out Quebec's cadastral reform program, giving it enhanced expertise in preparing and processing cadastral files.
Multiple applications
Cadastral operations can, for example, be used to divide a lot into several separate lots, convert a building into divided co-ownerships, or separate the land of a family residence from agricultural land following a compliance notice from the Commission de protection du territoire agricole du Québec. They can also correct boundaries between neighbouring properties or merge contiguous lots belonging to the same owner at the request of a municipality.
